Dependency
on technology
In the old days there
was technology like computers, cell phones, games, radio and others but it wasn´t
as advanced it is now. Looking back the people related more face to face,
because the use of the technology was very scarce and simple. For example the
cell phones, the Nintendos (video games that were healthy games specially for
children) radio, record-players, cameras and TV in black and white, in that
time were amazing for people. The families shared more and the children were
more educated than today. I lived in these times that play in the street was
funiest in the world and didn´t worry about anything.
Nowadays, the
technology has changed considerably with avances, people have also changed. Like
TV is in color with more than 200 channels to watch, that sometimes people do
not want to leave the house. Before the cell phone was just to talk, nown has
music, camera, photos, internet and are also easy to get, people always change
for one better. People became really dependant because phones have many
applications like watssap, viber, talk; social networks are very obsessive when
people check them more than 30 times a day.
And some people
cannot live without facebook for example, and for all questions google always
has the answer. This goes to a point where children believe more on what the
internet says than to their own parents and teachers.
I think that
technology is important because it´s a means of updating the world. Also, for
school, college and university it is means of education. Technology has aspects
very negatives as it generates dependency. Other people people finally get
troublesome personalities due to social-networks. The idea is to have
self-control and educate persons more the children since they are in school.
I agree with you that currently the technology is of great importance to the development of society, but it must have some control and avoid getting into a certain addiction to technology. Some solutions to avoid this type of dependency are: reserve one day a week without technology to speak face to face with other people or use only what is necessary and limit playing time or internet connection in a given period of the day.
